Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it ...

A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

Nvidia’s new lineup of open-source AI models is headlined by Alpamayo 1 (pictured), a so-called VLA, or ...

An innovative algorithm called Spectral Expansion Tree Search helps autonomous robotic systems make optimal choices on the move. In 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of ...

While the capabilities of robots have improved significantly over the past decades, they are not always able to reliably and ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech are developing a way to use computer algorithms and sensors to help robot animals move more naturally like their real-life counterparts. Kaveh Hamed and his colleagues at ...

Researchers have developed the first decentralized algorithm with a collision-free, deadlock-free guarantee and validated it on a swarm of 100 autonomous robots in the lab. For self-driving vehicles ...

China’s e-commerce warehouses shipped more than 83 billion parcels in 2020, a nearly 23-fold increase from a decade ago. This online-shopping boom creates massive logistics problems for retailers such ...

Elon Musk’s recent announcement of an upcoming Tesla Bot — complete with a human form, “human-level hands” and a characteristically optimistic delivery date — has garnered a healthy serving of ...
